Fidelity Funds - China Consumer Fund vs Invesco MSCI Emerging Markets
Fidelity Funds - China Consumer Fund tracks MSCI China (Net) and Invesco MSCI Emerging Markets tracks MSCI Emerging Markets. They are realistic alternatives for the same slot in a portfolio, but because the indices are different nobody can tell you in advance which will return more. What can be compared objectively is the cost, the replication method, the domicile and how each one is structured — and that is what this page does.

What is the difference between Fidelity Funds - China Consumer Fund and Invesco MSCI Emerging Markets?+

Which one will perform better?+
Nobody can know that: they track different indices, so their returns will diverge, and past index performance is not a prediction. What you can control today is the cost, the tax structure and whether the index actually covers what you want exposure to.
Which one is cheaper?+
Invesco MSCI Emerging Markets has the lower annual fee. Applying the same 7% gross return to both with €300/month, that fee gap alone is worth about €28,648 after 20 years — that part is arithmetic, not a forecast.
Accumulating or distributing?+
Both are accumulating, so on this point there is no difference between them.
Can I hold both?+
Yes. Unlike two funds tracking the identical index, these give you genuinely different exposure, so holding both is not automatically redundant — just be aware you may end up overlapping on the largest companies and doubling your rebalancing work.
